I have an iPhone 4 on iOS 6.1.3 and a MBP 13' 2012 i5 on OSX 10.8.3 connected to the same WiFi network. Now whenever a notification comes, be it Facebook or Messages (exceptions: Reminder and Calendar), iPhone alerts me before the Mac does.

I checked, but couldn't find a place in the Mac where I can edit these settings to make checking for notifications more frequent.

Can you tell me how do I make it better. Because the lag is sometimes more than 30 seconds.

Are chat messages in Messages being delivered slowly on the mac? I have both open simultaneously most of the day with less than a second between delivery on each platform.

Thats what is unusual on my Mac. Is it because I use Gmail and facebook chats through the Messages app.(i.e. chat.facebook.com via Jabber). If it is, it should be definitely improved.
